[Intro] [Spoken:] I saw your hand go up My heart went "this is it!" “This is it!!” [Spoken:] …Then you walked right past me… ...yeah. [Spoken:] We’re gonna talk about it. [Verse 1 – Talk-Sing] Saw you from across the room You smiled and you waved at me So I smiled and I waved back too Like a normal human being I even did a little nod Like yeah, I recognize you too This was a normal interaction This was a normal thing to do [Pre-Chorus] But then I turned around And I saw the truth There was someone standing Right behind me… wasn’t there? [Chorus – Big Dramatic] I WAVED BACK! I WAVED BACK! THAT WAVE WAS NOT INTENDED FOR ME! I WAVED BACK! I WAVED BACK! I JUST WAVED AT A STRANGER CONFIDENTLY! [GANG VOCALS:] Wrong person! (HEY!) Abort mission! (HEY!) Social collision! (HEY!) [Verse 2 – Talk-Sing] Do I keep waving like I know Do I look down at my phone Do I just slowly turn away And pretend I never saw Do I commit and walk over there Like I meant to do that all along Or do I just accept right now Everything has gone so wrong [Chorus] I WAVED BACK! I WAVED BACK! I MADE EYE CONTACT AND EVERYTHING! I WAVED BACK! I WAVED BACK! THIS IS A SOCIAL DISASTER SCENE! [Bridge] [Dramatic, Spoken:] Time… slowed down… My hand was already in the air. There was no stopping it. I saw the confusion… I saw the hesitation… I saw them look… past me… To the person… behind me. And in that moment… I knew. [Spoken, Whispered:] I knew. [Break] [Quiet, Spoken:] Maybe if I just walk away slowly Maybe if I don’t make it weird Maybe if I move to another country I can start over there [Final Chorus – Biggest] I WAVED BACK! I WAVED BACK! WHY DID I DO THAT SO CONFIDENTLY?! I WAVED BACK! I WAVED BACK! THIS WILL HAUNT ME FOR ETERNITY! [GANG VOCALS:] Wrong person! Wrong wave! I will remember this to my grave! [Outro] [Spoken:] They weren’t waving at me. I knew immediately. But it was too late. It had already happened…
